GSA LAD Newsletter October 2025

Legislative Affairs

  • by Brianna Montano Ramirez

Quick Summary

  • The Legislative Affairs Newsletter is a hub for understanding how policy decisions at the city, state, and federal levels directly impact graduate students at UC Davis.

This newsletter breaks down evolving legislative developments affecting higher education,

including research funding, labor protections, immigration policy, and public budgeting – all

with an eye towards how they shape our lives as scholars, workers, and members of the UC

community. Our focus is on informed collective action, whether that means uplifting student

concerns, engaging with policy, or amplifying graduate student needs in advocacy spaces.

Your LADs are Ema Gavrilovic (City Liaison) and Jalen Ward (State & Federal).
